Kuhn, Bowie Kent

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Kuhn, Bowie Kent (1926-2007)

US lawyer and baseball commissioner. He served as the Major League's fifth commissioner 1969-84.

He counselled several baseball clients while working at the firm of Wilkie, Farr and Gallagher (1950-69). After representing the major league baseball club owners in negotiations in 1968, he was chosen to be commissioner of baseball. During his term, he was well known for his tough stand against players involved with drugs, gambling, and corruption, and he was the recipient of both praise and blame. He was forced out in 1984 and told his story in Hardball: The Education of a Baseball Commissioner (1987).

Kuhn was born in Takoma Park, Maryland. He received a bachelor's degree in Economics from Princeton University, New Jersey, in 1947, and his law degree from the University of Virginia in 1950.
